Police Capture 1 Prison Gang Member Who Fled Parole, Another At Large

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - The Colorado Department of Corrections has taken into custody a paroled member of a white supremacist prison gang and another one remains at-large.

Prison officials say 31-year-old Wesley Jones was arrested in Englewood. William Wasilkowski, who is not a member of the gang, was arrested in Colorado Springs.

Authorities are still looking for 36-year-old Dennis Simonton, who was a member of the 211 Crew along with Jones. The man who killed Colorado's prisons chief three years ago was also a paroled member of the gang who had removed his ankle bracelet. Authorities questioned other 211 Crew members after the killing, though none was charged.

Officials say there is no indication of a link between that case and the latest absconders.
